Jimbo, I guess I just assumed that if someone had the balls to make official Star Wars posters, they must be at least partially official. If not, no complaining or ranting needed, he’ll get spoken to by someone. That’s the beauty of Lucasfilm.

don’t see how you can call these artists “bootleggers” as they aren’t copying anything. yes i believe in the rights of lucasfilm and selling these without their consent is wrong but it doesn’t mean they are bootleggers. a concept is being used with an artist putting their spin and style to it. what i call bootleg is when olly moss’s star wars set was recreated exactly like the original and was being sold as “original”. thats bootlegging.

his is my little tribute to the original trilogy. I’ve always wanted to prints commemorating each of these iconic movies and I finally buckled down and did them. This is the first project I’ve rendered entirely in Photoshop. No vectors were used (with the exception of the logo artwork). What you see here is 150 hours of hand-drawn, and hand-colored work. I’m really excited to finally be able to share these with everyone. It’s been a long couple weeks haha.

I kinda like these, and snagged the ROTJ one – I agree with the other previous poster who likes the ROTJ best. It’s nice to see a lighthearted take on the classic SW movies.

I get the arguments on both sides of the bootleg debate. I’m happy to have a shot at some cool fan art even though it’s not “worth” anything on a couple of counts – a bootleg and an open edition, ahem, to boot.

As a SW fan, and a guy who paid a lot to give himself a housewarming present of Ken Taylor’s bounty hunter set off of eBay (never again), and who shares everyone else’s frustration with the big name drops (mondo, anything Tyler Stout, etc.) it’s refreshing to just get a cheap piece of cool art of something you love.

Chris did this really cute shirt for Upper Playground a while back. It had Leatherface, Freddy Krueger and Jason Vorhees playing jumprope. I always wanted to get that in kid size so my son could wear it to kindergarten.

Don’t know why my comment got taken down before. I just want to reiterate that as much as I love the super limited, hard to get, licensed Mondo stuff, I do really like some of the unofficial fan art out there. It’s better and more desirable when it is limited edition, but if you are into collecting for the artwork and not the monetary value of pieces (like all the flippers out there), then these posters should be right up your alley. Whoever said that they will C&D’d is right, and it will be sad when it happens. Once again, one of my favorite pieces is Kevin Howdeshell’s Captain America, and it is an open, unofficial fan art piece.
